2018-07-14 MFA Day 0 – Sunset at the Lodge
I arrived last night at 5PM sharp and almost EVERYTHING in my life decided to converge at that moment. I ended up missing the window for the MFA check-in which was supposed to be 3-5PM and let that go because getting to my room became an incredible priority for multiple reasons. First, I had a…

2018-07-13 Friday the 13th 😱
Don’t be scared.. nothing terrifying is going on – except .. MFA Residency starting!!! 😮🤔😃 Of course my period also started today cuz it wouldn’t be a party without THAT happening.

2018-07-11 Preparations
I’m listening to what the Universe is DJ-ing up for me today. A shuffle from the master play list. Add a little caffeine and see how far that gets me. Yeah, I know, I know, I just swore off caffeine a few days ago. You think I would have learned from past experiments that’s a…

2018-04-23 Lifting Weights
Great Scott, I’ve done it again! It’s been a short 3 weeks since I officially sent in my last big assignment for my MFA and as soon as I pulled the trigger on that, the clock started ticking on #4. As of about 4:30 this afternoon, that was sent and it feels as though a…

2018-04-20 Timing is Everything
I’m well caffeinated this morning and just flush with thoughts about what I’m reading and the music in my ears. I’m so inspired about all the things I could pontificate about in my next set of essays for school. The renaissance, history, evolutionary biology, the invention of computer language. It’s wild. The book I’m reading…
